PDF Text Searching System

This project is to develop a text searching system that assist users to develop a simple
PDFtext-searching system, whichis capable of searching and processing the information
in text files on user PC and in local networks. The main purpose of developing this
project is to assist users in finding PDF documents and files within their local drives,
where the appropriate documents can be found by entering the desired search terms
(keywords) in the PDF Text Searching System. There are two objectives that have been
set for this project. The first objective is to perform a study and have a better
understanding on the software that will be used in order to develop PDF text-searching
system, and the second objective is to develop a PDF text-searching system, which is
capable of searching and processing the information in text files on userPC and in local
networks. For the methodology, Rapid Application Development (RAD) approach has
beenemployed. The methodology has been chosenbecause it is effective and suitable for
short duration project. It was designed for developer and user to join together and work
intensively toward their goal. By using the RAD methodology, the project is able to be
completed within the time allocated. In the results and discussion part, it covers all the
outcome that obtains from the project completion, which is based on the surveys
conducted and questionnaires. In this chapter, the findings that were gain will determine
whether the proposed system is acceptable and meet with the user's needs. In order to
provide better services, some suggestion being carried out for future enhancement. This
can improve the current system to be more efficient and effective.
